Similar to how the failed [[FA-78-1 Gundam Full Armor Type]] was meant to enhance the offensive capabilities of the original [[RX-78-2 Gundam]], the Full Armor pack for the Mark II was meant to add greater offensive and defensive capabilities. The new armaments included a2-barrelvulcan pod anda2barrelbeam gun with a grenade launcher. However, the [[FXA-05D G-Defenser]] had a more well rounded armament and did not weight down the Mark II in combat, so development was focused towards G-DefenserandtheFullArmorpack wasneverused.

:Although the Mk-II didn't mount the standard vulcan guns on the head, it is able to be outfitted with a 60mm 2-barrel vulcan pod on its head, capable of carrying a total of 1400 rounds. The vulcan guns are housed in the left side with two firing ports, while the right side functions as a balancer and magazine. This optional weapon was developed because installation space in the head unit could not be reserved for mounting the vulcan guns.

While the Full Armor pack did increase the Mk-II's offensive and defensive capabilities, the [[FXA-05D G-Defenser]] however had a more well rounded armament and did not weigh down the Mk-II in combat, so development was focused towards the G-Defenser and the Full Armor pack was never used.
